Poll: Oregon’s top newcomer this season

Following the conclusion of the regular season, the Ducks will hand out postseason team awards at their annual banquet. In the days leading up to the Civil War, I'll post poll questions for you to predict the winners, or offer your own opinions.

Today's trophy is the Casanova Award, named for the legendary former coach and given to "a first-year player who best exemplifies the ideal of competitiveness, team inspiration and outstanding performance." Essentially, this is the award for Oregon's top newcomer.

The 2009 winner was true freshman linebacker Michael Clay, and he was preceded by JC transfers Jeremiah Masoli in 2008 and Will Tukuafu in 2007. Prior to that, two redshirt freshmen were honored, Jairus Byrd in 2006 and Patrick Chung in 2005.

Again, I'll include a big group of nominees, but no doubt I'll miss a guy some feel is deserving, so make a case for him in the comments.
